keltoi Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 nothing exposes your soul like a limp handshake. you are shifty, insecure and cannot be trusted. while a firm lingering handshake with eye contact is almost as uniting and intimate as sexual intercourse.

Guest Rambo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I was thinking about this yesterday, strangely. Some guy gave me and a few of my friends the most mysterious handshake. Here i am thinking about it roughly 8 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AcrossCanyons Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I used to know somebody who wouldn't even grab or shake your hand, just sorta put his forward into your own ready to shake hand, let it linger for a sec and then remove it. Annoyed me to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest futuregirlfriend Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I hate handshakes. Go in with the left or an "on the side" high five. Fuck them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 How does WATMM feel about shaking hands with a woman? I often have to do this when meeting new clients, very professional. The only issue is that women have tiny hands and I don't want to break them with my large, powerful manshake. Earlier on I shook hands with a new female client and it was surprisingly a surprisingly firm handshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Firm grip, one pump, eye contact, then be done with it. are we talking about wanking in the mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Anyone else that hates dealing with this firm manly shake posturing I recommend you clasp the fingers and contort the hand of your opponent into the classic "kissing a lady's hand" position, even with the lightest shake you've still claimed dominance during this bout.

Not as creepy as people that don't let go of your hand and continue to talk while shaking. this also reveals insecurities... this person's deep seated feelings of inadequacy force him to try and dominate you during the handshake process. a sharp, forceful tug downwards will disengage his grasp and throw him off balance, sending him staggering into your bosom and bowing to your superiority.

eugene Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 shaking hands with men makes me feel like some kind of hypermasculine jock, this little ritual is charged with some kind of chauvinistic energy i despise, so i try to avoid it. love handshaking women though, much better than cheek kissing, unfortunately it's not acceptable on most occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blast. My feelings about handshakes stem from my first business shakes. Sitting in a room with some rich guys, them laughing and telling me how worthless their clients are as I sit smiling politely. When it came to seal the deal I was thinking, "this handshake means nothing, these guys are shits." and I was right. They screwed the stupider 17 year old me out of most of my money. Now, years later I still see mangled elements of things I did for them showing up in web banner ads. So this devaluing of the handshake makes me wonder. Men and women of their word need something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rambo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Does anyone else give women a nice square peck on the mouth when meeting them? It's a great move. Sometimes they quickly move their head to convert it to a peck on the cheek but that's where it's best to quickly counter that again, so you are kissing them right on the mouth. They love it.

Squee Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 A kiss on the cheek is perfectly alright! Even men should get a little peck on the cheek. But when it comes to handshakes I give a firm handshake. I fucking hate it when people hand me five dead sausages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I shake hand firmly with the right while gently caressing their ear with the other. Then give them a few pats on the face and slide my hand down the side of their face when done. how about when you give a woman a friendly hello or goodbye hug? many women found it confusing when I accompany it with a kiss on the cheek!

I try to, but it's a complex manoeuvre as you have to sneak your hand in there to pull down the hijab, they get really pissed off if they get saliva on it.

baph Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I try to work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, YOU'LL GET THE CHANCE TO PUT THE KNIFE IN!
